Linking muscle architecture and function in vivo: conceptual or methodological limitations? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Despite the clear theoretical link between sarcomere arrangement and force production, the relationship between muscle architecture and function remain ambiguous in vivo.

Ultrasound-derived Biceps Femoris Long Head Fascicle Length: Extrapolation Pitfalls [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2019 ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to compare biceps femoris long head (BFlh) fascicle length (Lf) obtained with different ultrasound-based approaches: 1) single ultrasound images and linear Lf extrapolation, 2) single ultrasound images and one of two different trigonometric equations (termed equations A and B), and 3)
